    '''Tal-Rho''' is one of the very few survivors of [[Krypton (EarthUE-Prime32)|Krypton]]'s [[Destruction of Krypton (EarthUE-Prime32)|destruction]] and the son of [[Zeta-Rho (EarthUE-Prime32)|Zeta-Rho]] and [[Lara Lor-Van (EarthUE-Prime32)|Lara Lor-Van]], and the half-brother of [[Kal-El (EarthUE-Prime32)|Kal-El]].
     
    Arriving on Earth like his half-brother, Rho used the alias of '''Morgan Edge''' and began his plan to [[Resurrection of Krypton (EarthUE-Prime32)|resurrected Krypton]] through the use of the [[Eradicator (EarthUE-Prime32)|Eradicator]]. He then confronted his half-brother, who became Superman over the decades and later thwarted Tal's villainous actions in Smallville. During his long-time crusade, Rho also absorbed the device and became '''The Eradicator''' before his mind was restored by Superman and Steel.
